A Legacy Built on Precision, Provenance, and Trust
When Kim Berg turns on the lights each morning and the showroom begins to glow, she knows exactly what the day holds: thoughtful conversations, meaningful decisions, and jewellery that will become part of someone’s life story. At European Goldsmith Fine Jewellery on Pandosy Street, the atmosphere reflects what Kim has built, a business grounded in care, craftsmanship, and continuity.
The setting feels intentional rather than transactional. Bright, modern, and calm, the space encourages you to slow down and engage. This is jewellery chosen with reflection, not pressure. Kim’s decision to operate on a strictly non-commission sales basis reinforces that philosophy. Every interaction is centred on your experience, ensuring it remains elevated, well informed, and the clear priority.
That approach is shaped by Kim’s long-standing leadership within the Canadian Jewellery Group, where she served as a board director for ten years and as President for four. That depth of involvement brings exceptional industry insight and access to outstanding sourcing. As a result, European Goldsmith offers one of the most substantial and uniquely curated jewellery inventories in the Okanagan, with in-stock pieces distinguished by design integrity, gem quality, and a range that accommodates varied budgets without compromising standards.
Custom design is offered as a thoughtful extension of the experience, available for those seeking something uniquely personal. Whether you arrive with a clear idea or a loose inspiration, the process begins with listening. Designs may draw from sketches, photographs, in-store pieces, or family heirlooms, with meaningful details such as birthstones or dates incorporated with restraint and care.
Once a direction is established, you are provided with a complimentary, no-obligation estimate and, when helpful, a digitally rendered image for review. Refinements are welcomed, and once approved, the piece is crafted in collaboration with an experienced goldsmith, with creation typically taking three to five weeks. The process remains measured and intentional, reflecting the same standards found throughout the showroom.
This year marks thirty years since European Goldsmith first opened its doors, beginning at Orchard Park Shopping Centre and growing organically into its present-day home in Pandosy Village. Those grass roots beginnings continue to shape the business today, grounded in trust, community, and long-term relationships. The showroom now reflects that evolution, offering not only exceptional jewellery, but also repairs, appraisal services, and ongoing care.
What Kim Berg has created is more than a jewellery store. It is a place defined by intention, knowledge, and respect for both the pieces and the people who wear them, where jewellery is chosen not just for the moment, but for the legacy it will one day become.
